Dharma RC2
December 2nd, 2010
Dharma RC2 is ready, and this one is a Release Candidate in the truest sense. There are a few reasons we decided to do one last pre-release:
- Shoutcast support has been redone. Listening to your favorite online radio stations with the shoutcast plugin is now a much nicer experience.
- The add-ons moved out of the testing repository and into their permanent home. This means that everyone will need to upgrade in order to see future add-on updates. If you continue to use RC1 or previous, please don’t report a lack of updates.
- Automatic updates for add-ons are now enabled by default. Of course, you can still disable them via the add-on manager if you prefer.
It has been far too long already, so the final release of Dharma should be close behind this one. If you have any outstanding issues speak now or forever hold your peace!
Head this way for the good stuff.
Awesome!
I know everyone behind this is likely receiving heaps of pressure to get this out the door, I’m equally sure you’d all have liked it done sooner as well :)
Just great to see it nearing completion.
(funnily enough, after waiting a couple of weeks I finally installed RC1 yesterday, looks like I’m doing it again today!)
Downloading Live now.
You guys are aaaaallllright!
Great work guys!!!
Excellent… Going to install it ASAP.
Is the list above the only changes made? Is there a changelog or similar available for this RC?

Perfect! Thanks heaps! :D
I have noticed some video tearing in Dharma which I dont notice in 9.11. But that might just be an issue on my end.
During HD video playback that is
Anyone know if the buffering issue got fixed in this release?
I’ve been keeping up with Dharma on my laptop. Can’t wait to start using the Final at home.
YEEEEHAAAAA ! Nice Work Guys !
Way to go! Thanks to everyone who worked on this.
Great! Big thanks to all devs and testers. The final straight line to the final!
Add a tick in System/Video/Playback/Play the next video automatically !!!
“Thefreedom” I agree with you, When playing TV series it would be good if you could just queue up all unwatched episodes, I’ve tried right clicking on the folder (“Episode 5” or “House” for example) then selecting play but XBMC queues up all items in that folder even if you currently have the filter enabled NOT to display or view watched content. I believe if you have the filter on not to display content already watched XBMC should not queue watched files when asking to play a folder/category. Thanks very much for all your great work other than this it’s very hard to fault such a great product and appreciate all the effort put in!

Is there a chance that the option “play next video automatically” appeared in final release ?

^^
I second that. Please….
How about the PVR integration (e.g. MythTv)? Is there any news on this? Thanks!
Great work anyway!
Well done and a big thanx to the xbmc team. I’m been chomping at the bit for dharma to go stable since it was announced .. but after looking at an old xbox I dusted off and gave a whirl I can see the great leaps and bounds that xbmc has done in the last few years. FANTASTIC!!!
And such a massive overhaul from Camelot. Thanks for creating the best media player.
Have tried RC1 Live-CD on HP 6735b, and it starts up fine but the machine freezes after approx 1-5 minutes. Hard reset is the only option. I’ll try RC2, but since the RC2-announcement did not cover any stability problems I guess that I’ll end up with the same result. Any ideas?
Is there an easy way to upgrade if I installed the RC1 live version?
excelent
thanks guyz
Very nice! LOVE the menu improvements and auto downloads.
I had to re-download my skins. My only request would be an add on for Pandora.
@thefreedom
what’s with that tone?
Great work! Thanks to everyone who’s invested so much time and energy into this :)
…speak now or forever hold your peace!
:))) I like that, congratulations team XBMC
Is it okay to update my RC1 live installation using ’sudo apt-get update’ and ’sudo apt-get upgrade’? Or do I need to reinstall from a fresh RC2 live CD?
@bugboy
I checked out the changelog and it only seems that the AVAHI daemon has been added. Can anyone tell me why we have Bonjour support in XMBC?
thefreedom: ffs, when will you get it this is’t a place to post requests… give it a rest.
XBMC Team, thanks for the excellent work you are doing!
@thefreedom
How about doing it yourself instead of demanding (not even asking nicely) for it on every news?!
RC2 RSS Editor is still very buggy!
hey guys love xbmc and can’t wait until final… can someone tell me if this version will be able to play music and let me view pics at the same time? is there any way to do this with version 9?
Good job on all the hard work! Almost there!
I have one request I would like to see before the final release.
Could we please get a fix for the stuttering video with multi channel FLAC?
I’m so happy that I just had to donate. You guys do a fantastic job, and I look forward to getting RC2 up and running.
Thanks guys! Been looking forward to this for a while.
Really looking forward to this. I am still on Camelot so this will be a major upgrade for me. I like the way this release has matured – rather late and working, than premature and buggy. Keep up the good work!
Hi, I have Version: 2:10.00~svn35567-maverick1 vesion installed. It is the RC2?
hi leute
wie kann ich das RC2 installieren?
http://trac.xbmc.org/wiki/WikiStart is not working. There is a bug when trying to search subtitles in audio menu while playing a video on streaming (ej.: pelisalacarta). It keeps looking for the local folder and takes several minutes because it’s online… It’s easy to solve, just much more smaller timeout or no local folder option.
Since there is no mention of a Mac specific problem, I will assume it is an oversight, the link for the RC2 Mac version is missing or not there yet.
Thanks
too bad I still can’t play a movie with a simple enter – I have to choose ‘resume’ or ‘play from start’ every time :(
Devs thanks for all the great work! Have not had a issue for many months.
Is there a windows version.
Like to know also, i still have Beta1 but it took me 4hrs to set up my library and would like to skip that process if i could.
@Xen
I had same issue on the beta’s & RC1 installed an older nvidia driver & that resolved the problemmm
To everyone that has RC1 and wishes to upgrade:
Just do a apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade. And please keep the help requests on the forums.
Again, thanks to all the people around the world that work hard to make XBMC a reality.
hudo
